Setting up Django
Go to directory on where your project will be created
Write command (on shell or command prompt) django-
[Link] startproject testsite, this will create
folder containing the project and files that are needed to make
project and don’t forget to make admin account
Issue command python [Link] runserver on
testsite folder to test the Django installation
Set up your database in [Link] located in
testsite folder
Issue python [Link] syncdb to test your
configuration
Creating An Application/Module
We will create blog module
Go to testsite directory and type command python [Link] startapp blog
Go to blog folder and open [Link]
Write from [Link] import models and from
[Link] import User on top
Write
class Post([Link]):
author = [Link](User)
date = [Link]()
title = [Link](max_length=100)
post = [Link]()
#making the list title so python not displaying raw data
def __str__(self):
return [Link]
Edit [Link] and add test [Link] in the INSTALLED_APPS section
Run command python [Link] syncdb to update database
Make Admin Page
Open [Link] and add [Link]
type the command python [Link] syncdb
Edit [Link] to enable admin, add
from [Link] import admin
[Link]()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/', include([Link])),
)
Issue the command python [Link] runserver and check
[Link] to ensure your admin is working, if
you are asked for login then you are on the right path
Make admin page for blog
Create [Link] on blog directory and write
from [Link] import admin
from [Link] import Post
class PostAdmin([Link]):
#makin order by
date_hierarchy = 'date‘
#making list display field
list_display = ('author', 'date', 'title')
#making search on the top corner
search_fields = ('title', 'post')
#making filter on the right corner
list_filter = ('author', 'date')
#register on the admin page
[Link](Post, PostAdmin)
Run server (python [Link] runserver) and go to
[Link]
Admin preview
[Link]
Settings on root [Link] (my best practice though :D)
(r'^blog/', include('[Link]')),
Blog is the root, and it will include [Link] in the blog folder
[Link] in blog folder will contain this for example
#([Link]
(function name in [Link])), will be coded as follows
(r'^detail/(?P<post_id>\d+)/$', detail),
Templating
Create directory on test site called template and edit
[Link]
Add this following
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
‘path_to_your_development_folder/testsite/templates’,
)
On blog/[Link] add this following
from [Link] import get_template
from [Link] import Context, loader
from [Link] import render_to_response, get_object_or_404
def detail(request, post_id):
p = get_object_or_404(Post, pk=post_id)
return render_to_response('blog/[Link]', {'post': p},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Create [Link] in template/blog/ (continued)
Create [Link]
Type this
<h2>{{ post }}</h2>
<p>{{ [Link] }}</p>
<b>{{ [Link] }}</b> wrote {{ [Link]|wordcount
}} words on {{ [Link]|date }} at {{ [Link]|time
}}
<ul>
<li><a href='/blog/update/{{ [Link] }}'>
edit</a></li>
<li><a href='/blog/delete/{{ [Link] }}'>
delete</a></li>
</ul>
Cek link
[Link]
Pagination (1)
Use admin interface to make posts
Create template in template/blog/[Link]
Add url pattern in blog/[Link] so it became like this
from [Link] import *
from [Link] import Post
from [Link] import *
urlpatterns = patterns('[Link].date_based',
(r'^add', add_blog
),
(r'^list/(?P<page>\d+)/$', list),
(r'^detail/(?P<post_id>\d+)/$', detail),
)
Pagination(2)
To add pagination, edit blog/[Link], first add the following lines
from [Link] import Paginator
Next make the list function like this
def list(request, page = 1):
page = int(page)
post_list = Paginator([Link](), 5, allow_empty_first_page=True)
post_page = post_list.page(page)
num = post_page.start_index()
count = post_page.end_index()
has_previous = post_page.has_previous()
has_next = post_page.has_next()
return render_to_response(
'blog/[Link]',
{
'post_list': post_page.object_list,
'has_previous': has_previous,
'previous_page': page - 1,
'has_next': has_next,
'next_page': page + 1,
'page' : page,
'num' : num,
'count' : count
}
)
Pagination (3) create the template
Create In template/blog/[Link], and write the following
{% if post_list %}
{{ page }}
{{ num }}
{{ count }}
<a href='/blog/add/'> add </a>
<ul>
{% for post in post_list %}
<li><a href='/blog/detail/{{ [Link] }}'>
{{[Link]}}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% if has_previous %}
<a href='/blog/list/{{ previous_page }}'>Previous</a>
{% if has_next %} | {% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% if has_next %}
<a href='/blog/list/{{ next_page }}'>Next</a>
{% endif %}
{% else %}
<p>No links found.</p>
{% endif %}
Check blog/[Link]
Before continuing, please make sure that the [Link] looks like this
from [Link] import *
from [Link] import Post
from [Link] import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^add', add_blog
),
(r'^list/(?P<page>\d+)/$', list),
(r'^detail/(?P<post_id>\d+)/$', detail),
(r'^update/(?P<post_id>\d+)/$', update),
(r'^delete/(?P<post_id>\d+)/$', delete)
)
